The CCJ will stay with you for as long as you are paying it off and for some years after.
If you increased the payment to � 25 Month, you would be clear in just under 4 years.
If you make a reasonable and substantially increased offer, they may look favourable on you and not haul you back to court for re-determination.

If you don't give them the info they request they can apply to Court to vary the amount under the CCJ. You will then have to provide the same info to the Court (i.e. your income & outgoings) in order to justify to the Court that you cannot afford to increase your payments - or you would have to make an offer to increase them in line with what you can now afford.
So it is probably best to come to some arrangement with the solicitor for increased payments, unless your circumstances are still such that �1 per month is all you can afford. If that is the case, you should be able to convince them to go on accepting it without the need to go back to Court.
